Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), the nation's top oil firm, raised Rs 2,500 crore in debt through non-convertible debentures (NCD) at an interest rate lower than government bonds, its director (finance) Sandeep Gupta said on Friday.

The NCDs, which will be used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditure, were rated AAA by Crisil and Icra.

IOC to spend Rs 2 trn for net-zero target by 2046: Chairman

Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), the nation's top oil firm, will invest Rs 2 lakh crore to achieve net-zero operational carbon emissions by 2046, its chairman Shrikant Madhav Vaidhya said on Thursday. The target set is in line with India's aim to reach net-zero emissions by 2070. IOC, which refines crude oil into fuel and manufactures petrochemicals, will use a combination of energy efficiency measures, electrification of processes and fuel replacement. "The company is embarking on a decarbonisation journey that will be crucial not only for the company's destiny but also for the planet," Vaidya said. "On the 99th year of India's independence (2046), IndianOil will be operationally independent of emissions." The investment of over Rs 2 lakh crore will help mitigate emissions to about 0.7 billion metric tonnes of carbon dioxide a year by then. Currently, IOC's greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, emanating majorly from the company's refining operations, is 21.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxi
